Who we are...

Here you can find out who we are as well as something of our history, objectives, Charitable Trust and constitution. Above is the Warden, Air Marshal Sir Dusty Miller, at the opening of a new exhibition at Gloucester's Jet Age Museum on Saturday 31 March, the day before the 100th anniversary of the RAF's formation on 1 April 1918.

The Company

There’s no better way of defining what we do than by setting out our objectives. They are to promote Gloucestershire, and the best interests of the county, through fellowship and by supporting industry, commerce, sport, education, science, the arts, the armed forces, youth and voluntary organisations. We encourage leadership and debate, promote and recognise excellence and encourage charitable giving in order to provide a positive influence on life in the county. In short, everything we do is ‘For Gloucestershire’.

The Trust

In 2012 the Company set up a separate Charitable Trust as a tax-efficient way of reinforcing its objectives. The generosity of our members in contributing to the Trust each year – effectively a condition of membership – thus enables us to support a number of worthy causes.
